Next up is the news that the Novel Adaptions will continue with five more releases in 2015 and 2016 starring Sylvester McCoy. The first set coming out in December sees one that was one of my favorites from the Virgin Book series The All Consuming Fire.  This sees The Doctor meeting Sherlock Holmes.  Also coming in December is Theatre of War where The Doctor, Ace and Benny get drawn into a Shakespeare  tragedy on the planet Mexaus.

April 2016 sees the release of Mark Gatiss's first Doctor Who novel and another one of my favorites from the Virgin Range Nightshade.  Nightshade sees The Doctor and Ace relationship tested to the limit as the discover what is terrorizing a village.

Set in 30th Century The Doctor and Ace encounter these two law enforcers for the first time.  The unnamed adaptation will be a three disc set. http://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/doctor-who-the-novel-adaptations-continue
